We saw here how to migrate Autocomplete cache in MS Outlook. But, what with enable or Disable Autocomplete feature at the first place. Autocomplete can be a security issue where a human error can send the email to an incorrect person and should that be a confidential email, you are into trouble as it happened recently with a law firm.

1. Open Outlook, click Tools – Options
2. Click “Email Options” button then “Advanced Email Options”
3. Check/Uncheck “Suggest names while completing To, Cc, Bcc fields” to enable/disable Autocomplete.

[NOTE: depending on Office version the registry path may vary for intstance as "10" or "11" in the above key]
